Gebiidea is an infraorderofdecapod crustaceans. Gebiidea and Axiidea are divergent infraoders of the former infraorder Thalassinidea. These infraorders have converged ecologically and morphologically as burrowing forms.[1] Based on molecular evidence as of 2009, it is now widely believed that these two infraorders represent two distinct lineages separate from one another. Since this is a recent change, much of the literature and research surrounding these infraorders still refers to the Axiidea and Gebiidea in combination as "thalassinidean" for the sake of clarity and reference.[1] This division based on molecular evidence is consistent with the groupings proposed by Robert Gurney in 1938 based on larval developmental stages.[2]
The infraorder Gebiidea belongs to the clade Reptantia, which consists of the walking/crawling decapods (lobsters and crabs). The cladogram below shows Gebiidea's placement within the larger order Decapoda, from analysis by Wolfe et al., 2019.[3]

However, Axianassidae is sometimes considered to be a junior synonym of Laomediidae.[5][6]
